"Big brother, the son and the little brother are not the fault of the younger brother's improper command, the younger brother has asked the prime minister for the guilt, now, the vanguard of the Youzhou thief army has arrived, and its main force is probably not far away, and the eldest brother is invited to make a decision as soon as possible. โ
Although Xiahou Yuan has a good face, he is still a responsible person in the end, and he did not shy away from the fact that Cao Chun's death was related to his improper command, but compared with asking for guilt, Xiahou Yuan was more concerned about how to deal with the arrival of the Youzhou army.
"Hmm...... According to the second brother, how is the combat strength of the Youzhou Army?" Although Xiahou Yuan did not say it explicitly, his words were obviously revealing the intention of temporarily avoiding the edge of the Youzhou Army, and in this regard, Xiahou Yuan could not ignore it, there was no other, Xiahou Yuan had always led the troops to fight in the past, and this was the case when fighting the Yellow Turban Army, and the same was true when facing brave people like Lu Bu
Even though he was seriously injured, he still dared to fight, but now he only lost one battle, and he actually had the intention of retreating, which shows that the combat effectiveness of the Youzhou Army is probably not so simple.
"As far as its cavalry is concerned, it is probably only slightly inferior to the tiger and leopard cavalry. โ
It was about the military plane, and Xiahou Yuan didn't dare to hide it a little, and after a little silence, he immediately gave an objective evaluation.
"Oh?" Hearing that the Youzhou cavalry was so strong, Xiahou Dian's brows tightened, no side, although he still had 2,000 cavalry, but none of them were tiger and leopard cavalry, most of them were scattered soldiers who were temporarily put together by the cavalry who surrendered from Qingzhou counties, and then counted more than 600 tigers who returned from defeat
The total strength of the leopard cavalry and the cavalry army is only more than 2,600, and it is obviously not enough to compete with the Youzhou army with such a small number of cavalry.
"Big brother, our army can drum up the courage of the whole army by fighting against the water, however, if there is a slight mistake, it is afraid that it is not beautiful, it is better to withdraw across the river first, and then make preparations when the enemy comes to attack. โ
Seeing that his brother was hesitant, Xiahou Yuan obviously couldn't hold his breath, and then he gave a sentence from the side.
"Hmm...... The order is to go down, and the whole army will immediately set out and withdraw across the Yellow River!"
Xiahoudun could not take the more than 30,000 Yuan family troops in Pushan City in his eyes, but he couldn't ignore the large-scale killing of the Youzhou army, frowned and thought for a while, and finally decided to go safe......
"Report, Envoy Jun, the thief army outside the city is demolishing the camp on a large scale, and it is suspected that it is about to withdraw. "Cao Jun's movements were very fast, with Xiahou Xuan's order issued, more than 50,000 people immediately moved, dismantling tents, loading baggage, obviously a faction to withdraw the army, this kind of situation can not be concealed from the eyes and ears of the Yuan family army sentry on duty at the head of the city, and soon there will be a rotating captain
Report the change of the enemy situation to Yuan Tan.
"Oh, let's go, second brother let's take a look!"
Yuan Tan was discussing with Yuan Xi and his generals how to fight the battle to defend the city, and when he heard that Cao Jun was actually going to withdraw, he couldn't help but be surprised, frowning and thinking for a while, but he couldn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in Xiahoudun's gourd.
"Big brother, the thief army is really going to withdraw, the younger brother asked for the order to lead his troops to chase and kill the last game, and it is not difficult to win a big victory. โ
Yuan Tan and the others rushed from the city guard mansion to the south city gate, and when they looked into the distance, they really saw the chaos in the Cao army's camp, no matter how they looked at it, it looked like they were preparing to retreat in a hurry.
"It's not proper, I'm afraid it's a fraud, I'm ordering all departments to strictly guard the city wall, and no one is allowed to open the door and leave the city without permission!"
Yuan Tan has been defeated in successive battles, and he has long lost the courage to win with the Cao army, and he has not yet learned the news that the Youzhou army has arrived, so he has no courage to take a risk......
"Report, Lord Jun, a large number of soldiers and horses suddenly appeared outside the northern city, and the banner is the former general Gongsun Ming's department. "Cao's army's withdrawal action was very decisive, less than two hours, with the cooperation of the boat division, the whole army retreated across the Yellow River, Yuan Tan on the south city wall left and right did not see Cao army have any ambush soldiers, was in doubt, but saw a soldier rushed along the city wall in a panic, a sight
In front of Yuan Tan, he was on one knee, panting and reporting the sudden military situation.
"What? How many soldiers are coming?"
Not to mention that there is an old grudge between the Yuan family and Gongsun Ming, even if they are married now, the relationship is not much better, not to mention that Yuan Tan wanted to trap Gongsun Ming to death several times before, and when he heard that Gongsun Ming was coming with a large army, Yuan Tan panicked.
"There are a lot of men and horses, if it is not below 60,000, I am afraid that the number of cavalry is not less than 20,000. โ
Seeing that Yuan Tan was so anxious, the report horse who came to report the matter did not dare to delay in the slightest, and then gave a rough answer.
"Hiss......"
Hearing that so many soldiers and horses were coming from Youzhou, Yuan Tan couldn't help but gasp, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
"Report, envoy Jun, the Youzhou army in the north of the city has shot a letter, please make your lord take a look. โ
Just when Yuan Tan was panicking, another newspaper horse hurried over, still dragging the letter in his hand that was inserted on the headless arrow.
"Big brother, what did Gongsun Xiao'er say?" Yuan Tan was anxious to know what was written in Gongsun Ming's letter, so he didn't use a knife to shave the fire paint on the letter, and directly tore open the seal with his hand, poured out a piece of paper full of words from the inside, and after going through it at a glance and ten lines, he was stunned on the spot, and when he saw this, Yuan Xi
But I couldn't help it, and asked from the side.
"The second brother is optimistic about himself. โ
Yuan Tan obviously hadn't woken up from the shock yet, so he just muttered, and then casually handed the letter to Yuan Xi.
"This ......" quickly read the letter, Yuan Xi was also dumbfounded, no side, just because what the letter said really made Yuan Xi unbelievable - Gongsun Ming actually said that he was here to help Yuan Jiajun recapture Qingzhou, and explained in detail the course of the battle in the plains
He was in a hurry to withdraw the army, and he dared to be beaten by the Youzhou army yesterday.
"Hmph, how can a weasel be so kind to the chickens for the New Year!"
Yuan Tan thought that there was only hatred between him and Gongsun Ming without the slightest friendship, and he didn't believe the promise made by Gongsun Ming in the letter, and when he saw that Yuan Xi seemed to be moved, he immediately snorted disdainfully. "Hmm...... The eldest brother Mingjian, the younger brother thought that no matter what, the plain could be lost and regained, after all, it was by the power of the Gongsun Ming, otherwise, our army's back road was afraid of being cut off, and now, since it invited my brother to go out of the city, the little brother went on a trip, and watched his words and deeds, and turned back
It's never too late to calculate. โ
Yuan Xi has never participated in the battle for succession, and there is no old grudge between him and Gongsun Ming, but when he was in Yecheng, he still had some contacts, and he thought that he would not be plotted by Gongsun Ming, so he made a self-recommendation.
"It's okay, that guy is cunning, the second brother should be careful. Yuan Tan himself was reluctant to meet with Gongsun Ming, but he was afraid that Gongsun Ming would attack the city out of anger, so after thinking about it, he finally decided to let Yuan Xi go to find out the truth and make a decision......
